Directors’ training
The Board, through its Nominating Committee, ensures a structured orientation and continuous education programme is in
place for new and existing members of the Board. The programme includes, amongst others, briefings and updates on the
organisational structure, salient matters covered under the Board Charter, key strategic, operational, financial and compliance
aspects of the Group, the Group’s performance management system, informal discussions with members of the Board and
scheduled site visits. This is geared towards ensuring that all Directors are familiar with and are able to appreciate the Group’s
operating environment and business dynamics to enable them to contribute effectively during Board’s deliberations.
All Directors have successfully completed the Mandatory Accreditation Programme under the auspices of Bursa Malaysia.
During the financial year under review, the Directors have pursued relevant courses and attended seminars to keep abreast
with industry, regulatory and compliance issues, trends and best practices.
